Chapter 1016 Desire to Be Attentioned

"The Way of the Nongmen Mother-in-Law ()"

After Zhou's dinner, Zhou Shuren left Changyi alone.

Changyi has been waiting for his father's arrangement, knowing why his father left him, "Father."

Zhou Shuren hummed, and then said: "In a few days, an envoy from a country will come to Beijing. I mentioned your language talent to the emperor. A few days ago, the emperor mentioned you to me. This time you will be an interpreter. Tomorrow, you will go to the Ministry of Rites to look for it." Wu Ming, he will arrange it."

Changyi breathed out a lot. Dad definitely didn't just want him to be an interpreter, otherwise it wouldn't be an arrangement. Thinking of the possibility of extravagant expectations, "Dad."

Zhou Shuren raised his hand to signal, and continued: "This is a test. After the test, I'm talking about other things. What I say now is empty talk. Your father and I have done everything that I can arrange for you. The rest is up to you. Opportunities will come to you." In front of your eyes, whether you can catch it or not, it’s all up to you.”

Even if he has great abilities, it's useless if Changyi can't seize the opportunity by himself.

Changyi's heart is hot, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to change the second room, and an opportunity for his father to plan for him, "Father, my son understands, and I will definitely live up to your painstaking efforts."

Zhou Shuren said what he should say, and he did what he should do, "Okay, you can go back to rest too, you will be busy tomorrow, and fortunately the Ministry of Rites has been cleaned, there are Wang Jue, Wu Ming and Gu Zhuomin, I can feel relieved when you go there."

Changyi clenched his fists. This is what his father said about the right time, place and people. In the end, he is the one who is the worst. He understands that it is not easy for his father to create conditions for him. "Father, my son knows how to do it."

"Well, among the few in the family, you are the most successful one, I don't worry, go back!"

"Yes, parents also rest earlier."

On the way back to the second room, Changyi looked up at the moon in the sky. Today is the full moon, and he can see the road clearly without lighting a lantern. It's like his future is already clearly visible. Changyi's nose feels a little sore.

Father's eyes were more on Chang Lian and Ming Yun, then Chang Zhi, and then Ming Teng and Ming Rui. He knew in his heart that he and his elder brother had been like this for the rest of their lives, but he still longed for Father's attention in his heart. Now his father is also planning for him, seeking an impossible future, Changyi grinned foolishly.

Mrs. Zhao has been waiting for the husband, father-in-law will only look for him when he has something to do, and when he came out to welcome him, he saw him smirking, "What's the matter?"

Changyi's smile didn't fade, "I'm also Daddy's son."

Mrs. Zhao didn't understand, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

After Changyi explained, "Father is paying attention to us sons."

Mrs. Zhao was heartbroken to hear that, whether it is the husband-in-law or her, they all have their own faults, and they are indeed the ones in the family who crave the attention of their parents the most.

Afterwards, Mrs. Zhao realized that this was not the time to feel sad, but her eyes widened, "Did you mean that as long as you seize the opportunity, you will be able to have an official status?"

Changyi nodded repeatedly, "So I must seize the opportunity."

In Xuzhou, Chang Lian went to see his two daughters before returning to the house, "I'm used to living in the interior, but it's really uncomfortable to go to the seaside."

Because of the port, the Maritime Affairs Branch was set up in a county by the sea, and I haven't gotten used to it for a few days.

Mrs. Dong frowned and rubbed her frozen fingers, "Although the temperature here is higher than in the capital, the house is shady and cool. I have already hired a craftsman to repair the kang."

She regretted bringing her daughter with her. The two girls got cold and took medicine when they came here. She and her husband didn't dare to write in the letter, fearing that her mother-in-law would worry.

Chang Lian put on a cloak, "Well, the bed is indeed uncomfortable, and the quilt is also a bit cold."

For the past few days, he has been covered with the cloak he brought.

Dong said again: "There's still charcoal, I'm thinking about buying some more. After doing this calculation, there are quite a few things to do."

"Thanks a lot."

"You're the one who worked hard, and it's nothing to me."

There are mothers-in-law, servant girls, and servants by her side, and she is always talking, unlike her husband, who has to walk around when he first arrives.

Changlian was roasting on the fire, and only after he came out did he realize how happy he is at home.

the next day,

When Chang Yi arrived at the Ministry of Rites, Wu Ming had been guarding at the gate of the Ministry of Rites. When he saw the second brother, "Second brother."

Changyi stepped forward quickly, "You won't be waiting here forever, will you?"

"I just came out not long ago. Mr. Wang is waiting for the second brother. Let's go in and talk about the second brother."

Changyi was a little cautious, this is the Ministry of Rites, he was white, he was afraid of embarrassing his father, so he followed Wu Ming and didn't ask many questions until he saw Wang Zuo.

Wang Zuo looked at Zhou Changyi, feeling jealous of Zhou Shuren in his heart. It is good to have more sons, "Your father and I are friends, and our two families are also in-laws. You don't have to be an outsider, you just follow me these days."

Chang Yi felt at ease, "Yes."

He is very happy that Wang Jue is in charge of the new department. His father won it for him, and he naturally knows the importance, so this time he must not make mistakes in meeting the envoys. Many people want to drag him down to do it themselves!

The Zhou family, Mrs. Li and the others only found out that Changyi had gone to the Ministry of Rites to work as an interpreter early this morning. The clever Su Xuan immediately thought of the key point, "Mother, will the second brother have a chance to join the Ministry of Rites in the future?"

This is not something anyone can do if they want to, even if it is to be an interpreter, she doesn't think her father-in-law will be a bad worker.

Zhulan, "The horoscope has not been written yet, so it's too early to say anything."

Su Xuan was surprised, her mother-in-law didn't deny it, she really guessed right, her pupils constricted, if the second elder brother really became, the second room would be ahead of the fourth room, as for the first room, she didn't want to compare, the first room His sons accounted for more, and the eldest grandson was an absolute advantage, not to mention that Mingyun was indeed very outstanding.

Mrs. Li finally understood, and then widened her eyes. The second child was white, thinking of Xianggong, she was silent, and Xianggong seemed to have nothing outstanding.

Li patted her belly, the only thing she could rely on in this life was children, and she would give birth.

When the second son of the Zhou family went to the Ministry of Rites, he didn't get much attention at first, but because King Qi was in charge of receiving the envoys this time, Zhou Changyi became famous.

After the early court, Zhou Shuren was stopped by King Qi, "I have seen His Highness King Qi."

King Qi smiled, "I have nothing else to do, I just want to chat with Master Zhou."

Zhou Shuren was speechless in his heart, and said face-to-face: "My lord, please tell me."

King Qi left unhappily, "Yesterday, this king personally learned the ability of your lord's second son. His language talent is indeed extremely high. The few sons I brought with him are not as good as your lord's sons. The most valuable thing is that your lord's son has mastered three foreign languages. It's really rare."

Zhou Shuren hurriedly said: "The minister thanked His Highness for the praise on Changyi's behalf, but he still has many shortcomings and needs to learn."

King Qi twitched the corner of his mouth, "Master Zhou is really humble."

Zhou Shuren is very cautious, he will not talk too much, it will be really embarrassing at that time, what should we do if the opportunity is lost, "I always remember that humility makes people progress."

King Qi looked at Zhou Shuren deeply. How Zhou Changyi entered the Ministry of Rites must be because of Zhou Shuren. Zhou Shuren held a very high position in the heart of his father, higher than he thought.
